This blog is no longer being updated. Last post was “Farewell”.
وہ اپنے نام کو سر پہ اٹھائے پھرتے ہیں
ہم اپنے آپ کو خود سے چھپائے پھرتے ہیں
وہ جن میں دم نہ تھا بازو اٹھانے کا
وہی سینے پہ اب تمغہ سجائے پھرتے ہیں
ہمیں بھی دیکھنا ہے ایک نظر وہ فتنہ
تمام شہر میں جس کے ستائے پھرتے ہیں
عجیب لوگ ہیں، ہاتھوں میں دھڑکنیں تھامے
شعور و عقل کی گٹھڑی بنائے پھرتے ہیں
ذرا سی بات تھی، سچائیوں میں کھو جاتی
مگر وہ رائی کا پربت بنائے پھرتے ہیں
ضمیرِ ذات کی مردہ حیات کے منظر
نگاہِ زندگی کو بوکھلائے پھرتے ہیں
کسی کی بات پر اب کون کان دھرتا ہے
تمام حرف جب خود کو مٹائے پھرتے ہیں
جو کل چٹان تھے اپنی انا کا بُت تھامے
وہ آج یاس کے چشمے بہائے پھرتے ہیں
نرالے بھید ہیں عہدِ رواں کے رہبر کے
تمام عالم میں الٹا گھمائے پھرتے ہیں
بہت پچھتائے ہیں اکثر ہی بات کہہ کر یوں
کہ اب اپنی زباں منہ میں دبائے پھرتے ہیں

Naveed: Thanks!
Ziom: You loved the last one? Tum bhi kahin zuban mun’h mein dabayay tou nahin phirtay? And that’s VP (Visual Programming – name of the course) and NOT VB. I don’t like VB! And no, Bhaijan and I couldn’t meet, but talked on the phone.

Saadat: First of all, I must tell you once again, how much I hated not being able tomeet you. Next time around, even if I am there for a half hour, I’ll ensure we meet up…and if that takes pulling you out of class, and knocking my bro on the head for getting his Isloo directions right, so be it!
Secondly, I LOVED this ghazal. Its been ages since I was able to pen a ghazal, and frankly I have never been able to get my ghazal right. This is LOVELY!
Especially, the rai ka pahad wala she’r.
Perhaps, you can look at my ghazals and give me some pointers…?

Ustaad Faseeh: Please refrain from addressing everybody else here as ‘paaaglooo‘; I am completely sure that their knowledge of ‘alif bay‘ is far better than mine. Thanks for liking the poetry, though.
